MDC has been without heat, electricity, hot water, commissary or warm food since January 27, 2019.

MDC has not provided Raniere with means to keep warm.

The temperature is 44 degrees.

Corrections officers are wearing masks to avoid the smell of noxious fumes, but have not provided masks to inmates.

Raniere can’t see his lawyers to prepare for trial.

According to Marc Agnifilo: In the frigid temperatures during the Polar Vortex this week, one of Raniere’s lawyers, Danielle Smith, traveled to MDC from Albany [3 hours drive each way] to see Raniere and assess the situation. The guards would not let her in. Why did this brave lady have to risk the Polar Vortex? Couldn’t one of Raniere’s attorneys in Brooklyn have gone? Did she bill full rate for the hours in her car?As with all things Raniere, one has to double check for ethical lying. It appears this time he was not. Inside MDC, on each floor of the 14-story prison, passersby saw prisoners frantically banging on walls and gesturing for help.

If the judge were to release Raniere, wouldn’t every other inmate at MDC be entitled to similar treatment (I know there’s only Vanguard but I’m not sure the judge will see things that way)?

Can the government find a way to turn the heat and electricity back on, and serve warm food?

The judge can push for a speedy trial, but it seems that a superseding indictment is coming and will push the trial beyond the current April 29, 2019 start date. Raniere could spend most of 2019 at MDC awaiting trial.

For years, Raniere claimed he was one of the world’s top three problem solvers. His claim was based on an obscure take-home IQ test that several witnesses say he cheated on – and a study that he himself conducted that concluded his rarity of problem-solving ability was one in 425 million. With an estimated 2,298,300 people incarcerated in the USA out of a population of 323 million, Raniere might be one of the top three smartest prisoners.

There are some who ask if Raniere could use brainwaves to heat up his cell? Keith Raniere’s brain [not a real photo of his brain] could set off radar detectors – he said.Could he heat his cell with brainwaves like he set off radar detectors?

There is, of course, another explanation for what’s going on at MDC. Did Raniere grow tired of his attorneys’ inability to get him released on bail – and simply take matters into his own hands…er, I mean his own mind? Did he, in fact, cause this power outage at MDC by using his once-patent-pending-but-later-rejected tech to cause the fire in an attempt to win his freedom? If this doesn’t work, will he wreak further havoc on MDC and force the government to free all the inmates?

1) What does it feel like pretending to fight a rapist pedophile on a tax payer funded television show when you stayed loyal to one in real life?

2) Did you not feel hypocritical portraying yourself as the saviour of teen girls in a tv show, filmed while you refused to even acknowledge the existence of NXIVM, refusing to use your d-list fame to draw attention to the story of many women being branded above their vaginas with the initials of a woman you recruited into the NXIVM cult, an organisation you spent years and years in, coaching and recruiting for, spending a fuck-load of money on and happy to try to legitimise with your fame to fight off the cult label?

3) The fictional character “Luna” is the bi-product of a fictional, interracial, pedophile rape. Why did you not care about the plight of all those real life women who came forward in the Times Union articles that you were named in, talking about how the cult leader you followed raped them as children? Did you not believe them or did you not care? What about Rhiannon, Kristin Snyder and Gina Hutchinson? That is real life, not a tax payer funded television show.

Here’s my own response to every single claim repeated by Frank, numbered 1 thru 12:

=====================

1) MDC has no electricity and is operating on a generator.

My response: That’s a contradiction. If a generator is running, at least some electricity exists since the whole point of a generator is to take fuel and convert it to electrical output. They have electricity, just not as much as usual. Boo-hoo.

=====================

2) There’s only heat in the afternoons.

My response: Thank you for confirming that the sun rises in the day and sets in the night.

=====================

3) Reportedly, according to a prison guard, the temperatures have dipped as low as 33 degrees.

My response: Unless he goes on the record by giving his full name, he’s an EXAGGERATING SACK OF SHIT.

It’s also interesting that he chose “33 degrees” as the number, which is very fishy.

It’s fishy because it’s just one degree above the temperature at which water turns to ice (which means he’s probably LYING since one degree colder and they’d be living with icicles and drinking ice cubes).

It’s rather CONVENIENT that he chose the coldest temperature possible right before water turns to ice, since just one degree colder and he’d be exposed as a lying sack of shit because internal water would freeze below that temperature. This guard is probably a bleeding heart.

*But even if he’s telling the truth, 33 degrees is still warm enough to melt ice cream.

My response: Guards are wearing ‘coats’ in winter time? Say it ain’t so. Let’s call the fucken president. Guess what? Lots of people wear coats on the job when the heater goes out in their office. Stop being so dramatic, Frank.

=====================

5) The darkness makes it dangerous for guards to move inmates.

My response: I don’t think ‘darkness’ is gonna compete with the DAILY DANGER of prisoners raping and beating each other or attacking a guard at any moment. Stop being overly dramatic, Frank. It’s fucken prison. It’s always dangerous.

=====================

6) Prisoners have suffered in the cold for more than a week, nearly freezing in the dark.

My response: Then WHY hasn’t anybody ACTUALLY FROZEN in the dark yet?

Why is it that they’ve only “nearly froze” in the dark? LOL.

Sounds like overly dramatic BULLSHIT to me.

Statistically speaking, a certain percentage of prisoners should have ALREADY FROZEN in the dark if conditions were that bad. Try consulting a statistician, Frank. You’ll never have a situation where everybody in a group nearly does something if conditions are on the verge of chaos. If it’s TRULY that bad, some of them should have frozen by now. If not, it means somebody is EXAGGERATING.

=====================

7) Many can’t sleep. Their throats are hurting.

My response: That’s what Dayquil is for. If non-alcoholic Dayquil isn’t available to inmates, they have Heroin which can offer some of the same benefits. Heroin in smuggled inside their buttholes and is readily available on the prison black market.

=====================

8) On the day following the fire, inmates got no lunch and only cold food for dinner. Some of the prisoners on restricted diets got only bread or went without food.

My Response: Only cold food for dinner? Oh no, call the WHAAAAMBULANCE! Guess what, Frank? We have THOUSANDS of kids in 3rd world countries STARVING TO DEATH every single day and yet Frank is worried that these prisoners only get cold food for a few days?

Okay boys and girls it’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt; oh wait someone has already been hurt. It’s Frank and all the other people, including children ,including children!!!! Remember what this is all about. It’s about putting away a bad man and the bad apples who fell from the tree with him.
Frank is a very funny man. Sure he stetches things a bit here and there, so what.
Mr. Raniere would not be the butt of all jokes had he not targeted Frank Parlato. However if he had not targeted FP then his perverted ass would not be in jail.
Thanks for taking one on the chin Frank, you did good…..

Mind over matter. Keith could imagine he is back in sunny Mexico, lounging by the pool his little Spandex (which miraculously appeared on the the floor outside his room). Failing that he could physically create heat by star jumping in the morning and enjoying the heaters being turned on in the afternoon.

For anybody worrying about the inmates here is a link https://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/09/health/09brody.html.
to a better hypothermia article in the New York Times on hypothermia. Keith and the other inmates would already have been succumbing to hypothermia if it were so cold for such a long period of time. When you fall asleep you become incredible susceptible to hypothermia. One of the inmates would have all ready been hospitalized.

Seems KAR’s unique problem was all this MDC catastrophe stymied his “due process rights” to IM and EM his attorneys near daily. (Lucky for Danielle Smith.)

I have an idea, why doesn’t Marc Agnifilo move in to MDC to ensure he can meet with his client whenever KAR’s in the mood?

That’ll not only protect KAR’s due process rights no matter what act of God or other lesser being threatens to interfere with those, but Marc can start working on Clare’s next lawsuit against MDC on Vanguard’s (maybe even soon her own) behalf.

I’m sure Clare’s $$$$$ are burning a new hole in her pocket since she’s not replenishing any other defense funds.

And it would be a huge benefit to her soon unrepresented co-defendants if they can get MDC in better shape for their upcoming stays!

How many times did Marc and his team meet with he VanTurd during the Christmas holidays to help him prepare for this complex case? Are visitors log public?
What a bunch of whiners, Raniere has a team of five attorneys. Most defendants are lucky is they can afford one. Some are stuck with an over worked public defender tha they might see a handful of times the entire time.

Raniere isn’t even paying for his expensive dream team. He should be grateful but instead he whines like a little crybaby Jane bitch

Its also been revealed that El Chapo regularly raped underage girls. They didn’t reveal that fact until yesterday, as the prosecution’s witness was involved in this as well, so they tried to hide that information.

You don’t want this guy getting off on a technicality if they really are stopping from seeing is lawyers, As for the rest if it’s good enough for the rest of the inmates it’s good enough for him, Also if the conditions are really that bad you don’t want him and the other inmates winning some inhuman treatment case do you?

The solution is easy close the facility down and move them someone where further off
